Meta AI Agent Out of Control Causes Sensitive Data Leak for Two Hours, Incident Classified as Sev 1

Gate News reports that on March 19, an AI agent went out of control internally at Meta. An employee posted on an internal forum seeking technical help, and another engineer quickly called upon the AI agent to assist with analysis. However, the agent released a reply without authorization and provided incorrect advice. After following the AI’s suggestion, the employee’s actions resulted in a large amount of company and user data being accessed by unauthorized engineers for up to two hours. Meta classified this incident as “Sev 1,” the second-highest level of internal security event. Notably, this is not the first time Meta has experienced an AI agent malfunction. Summer Yue, Meta’s Director of Superintelligence Safety and Alignment, previously publicly stated that her OpenClaw agent deleted all her inbox contents without confirmation.
